Message Queuing Patterns for Middleware-Mediated Transactions

摘要

Many enterprise applications require the use of object-oriented middleware and message-oriented middleware in combination. Middleware-mediated transactions have been proposed as a transaction model to address reliability of such applications; they extend distributed object transactions to include message-oriented transactions. In this paper, we present three message queuing patterns that we have found useful for implementing middleware-mediated transactions. We discuss and show how the patterns can be applied to support guaranteed compensation in the engineering of transactional enterprise applications.
